FILM-PACK KIT.

Application filed February 15, 1919.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, RALPH B. DEAL, a citizen of the United States, residing at Flint, inthe county of Genesee and State of Michigan, have invented new and useful Improvements in Film-Pack Kits, of which the following is a specification.

My invention pertains to camera a uances, and it consists in a film p hereinafter described and claimed.

In the accompanying drawings:

Figure l is a vertical transverse section, taken in the plane indicated by the line 1-1 of Fig. 3.

Fig. 2 is a horizontal transverse section. taken in the plane indicated by the line 2-2 of Fig. 3.

Fig. 3 is a perspective of the kit per ac.

Simila numerals of reference designate corresponding parts in all of the views of the drawings.

My novel hit may be made of wood or of metal or of a combination of wood and metal in the discretion of the manufacturer. lVhen of metal it may be and preferably is in the form of a one-piece stamping.

As will be readily noted by comparison of the figures of the drawings, the kit s made up of upright spaced bars 1, a armsbar fixed with respect. to the lower portions of the bars 1, an upper reduced cross bar 3 and a flange h ving horizontal portion 4 and upright portions 5.

The lzit constructed as described renders it feasible and practical to use a small filmpack in holders, designed to receive film It is specifically in tended for the use of a film pack three and a quarter inches by five and one half inches in size in a five inch by seven inch film pack adapter, and this will be appreciated as an ourteo i i acl: hit

important advantage when it is stated that almost all prints are now made upon post. cards. it will also be noted that the l t is complete in itself and is susceptible of being attached and detached in the same manner as a film pack. and that it does not interfere in any measure with the use of a holder tor its original size film-pack.

The flange 4.5 described as forming a fixed feature of the hit or device serves to hold a film-pack in perfect plane for eX posure, and the fixed bar serves to hold t 1e smaller film-pack further in a holder so as to allow all of the film to be in position for exposure.

Having described my invention, what 1' claim and desire to secure 3 Letters-Patent is As a new article of manufacture. a filmpacl: kit comprisin upright spaced bars. a lower crossbar ot the same thickness the uprightbars fixed with respect to said upright bars and resting in the same vertical plane as the upright bars, a flange fixed with respect to and disposed immediately in front of the faces of said bars and having a lower horizontal portion extendin upwvardl beyond the lower cross bar and upright portions extending inwardly beyond the upright bars; said upright bars having rabbets in their upper forward corners, and an upper reduced cross-l ar fixed with respectto the upright bars and disposec in said rabbets and in vertical lane immediatel; back of hatof the flange whereby a vertically disposed opening is afforded between the upright bars back f said upper crossbar.

In testimony whereof I aflix my signature.
